Chapter 82: The Storm Rises

Wei Ying's trip to Qin may still be a temporary idea for Wei Ying, but Wei Kai understands how much impact this has on the future countries and how much impact it has on the land of Guanzhong.

Even if the second emperor of Qin died, the brave Guanzhong people were still an important source of soldiers for all dynasties and generations in the future.

But this is not to say that the soldiers of other countries are timid and cowardly, but the Guanzhong people who were born in Rongma, his backbone and backbone, during the Shang Dynasty Reform Period, and even when the Qin State was fighting for hegemony in the world, was deeply fused in the body of every man, and endured for a long time.

After Wei Kai had a brief meeting with Qin King Yingquliang in Liyang City, he rode back to Chencang overnight to the Chongquan front, after all, since they had confirmed each other's intentions, there was no need to waste precious time in that pavilion.

Wei Kai and Qin Wang Yingquliang met outside Liyang City, not only the reunion between the monarchs and ministers of Qin after a long absence, comforting each other, but also the meaning of "taking the stage to worship the general".

You must know that Wei Kai not only has more than 10,000 horses in Chen Cang's hands now, but also the soldiers drawn from all over the country are now under Wei Kai's command, as a Qin outsider, as if he holds a quarter of the army in Qin.

If Wei Kai had any disobedience, the seemingly impregnable Liyang City in front of him might be captured by Wei Kai overnight.

Therefore, even if Yingquliang trusts Wei Kai again, but under many factors, he still has to do a serious gesture of exhortation to Wei Kai, although it seems to be a little hypocritical, but this is the so-called "heart-to-heart between the monarch and the minister"

After all, there is another person in the Qin State who has such an army in his hands, and he is the elder brother of the current Qin King Yingquliang, Yingqian, and this can also reassure all parties.

And the reason why he rushed to Chongquan so non-stop, after all, although the Great Liang Alliance failed to unite due to Wei Wangying's stupidity, no one can guarantee that Wei Wangying, who was stubborn and self-serving, would not raise troops to fight against Qin alone?

The country is strong, the people are rich, and the monarch has the capital to be proud and arrogant, so for the current Qin State, it is not too cautious, after all, the Qin State is too weak and too poor, and one wrong step is the destruction of the country and the destruction of the people.

The Qin army defeated the Wei army in the Battle of Shaoliang not long ago, but the high-level of the Qin army knew that if it weren't for the Wei army's pig teammate, Gongzi Wei, the Qin army would not be able to break through Gongsun Acne's ironclad array so easily, not to mention that this time it was Pang Juan.

Chongquan is adjacent to Luoshui, and is a military town built on the basis of the original city by the Qin people to resist the invincible Wei State Wu Qi on its west bank.

Qin Xiangong has repeatedly expeditioned east to the west of the river, and it is here that he has sent out his army, and most of the grain and grass of the Qin army are also transferred here, which can be regarded as a great city in the poor Qin State.

After the news came that Wei wanted to unite other countries to crusade against Qin, Ying Qian led his army to garrison here, constantly building ordnance, strengthening the city, and constantly monitoring the movements of the Wei army on the other side of Luoshui day and night.

After all, once Chongquan was captured by the Wei army, Liyang would have no danger to defend, and it would be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Wei army, allowing the Wei army to wreak havoc on the hundreds of miles of land between Liyang and Chongquan, so if the Wei army destroyed Qin, Chongquan must be the top priority.

"Mr. Wei Kai"

Wei Kai led the army before he came within five miles of Chongquan City, and Ying Qian, who had already learned the news, personally led the cavalry to wait on the way. Looking at Ying Qian, who had been waiting here for a long time, Wei Kai immediately stepped forward and saluted back: "The last general, Wei Kai, meet the general."

Although Wei Kai is now the Chen Cangling of the Qin State, people who are familiar with Wei Kai usually call Wei Kai his name.

But Ying Qian is different, not that Ying Qian and Wei Kai have a bad relationship, you must know that when the Qin army retreated in the Battle of Shaoliang, the last people in the Qin army were Ying Qian and Wei Kai.

This is due to the fact that Ying Qian is the general of the Qin State, but Wei Kai is no longer a dissolute and unruly guest secretary of the Qin State, but a general of the Qin State, and the rules for the lower levels in the army to meet their superiors, Wei Kai still understands.

In addition, Wei Kai was so respectful to Ying Qian, and it was also because Wei Kai admired the rough Qin man in front of him from the bottom of his heart. After all, whether it is pride or military merits, Ying Qian is regarded as a person with bull's ears in the Qin army, and is deeply supported by the officers and men in the army.

"Mr. Wei Kai, Ying Qian can wait for you", Ying Qian looked at Wei Kai, who was polite and polite, and suddenly smiled.

When Wei Kai heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Wei Kai, I also miss the general very much."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Kai looked up at Ying Qian in front of him, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, after a moment of greeting, Ying Qian took Wei Kai to the tent that had been prepared not far away, looking ready to have a long talk with Wei Kai.

"General, what is this?" , Wei Kai looked around, followed Ying Qian to sit on the side of the tent, and then looked at Ying Qian, full of doubts and said. After all, the most important thing now is to bring these reinforcements to the Chongquan front line to set up defenses, instead of wasting time on the way with long talks.

Ying Qian also understood Wei Kai's doubts, didn't speak, sighed, and then took out a sheepskin from a bamboo tube and handed it to Wei Kai, then picked up the wine jug on the table, poured it full of the wine glass in front of him, and then looked at Wei Kai with a puzzled face.

Wei Kai probably browsed the contents of the sheepskin in his hand, and sighed in his heart, and roughly understood why Yingqian, who was stationed in Chongquan, would take the initiative to wait for him on the side of the road, and arrange such a place with wine and meat.

It turned out that what was written on the sheepskin was that after Wei Kai led the soldiers to Chongquan, the general Ying Qian would take over all the troops under Wei Kai's jurisdiction, that is, remove Wei Kai's military power.

Ying Qian also understood Wei Kai's mood at this time, after all, Wei Kai led the army to reinforce Chongquan thousands of miles away, with a heart to live and die with Qin. But how can people bear that they have not yet reached Chongquan, and the army under his command has been deprived of them without any reason?

"Mr. Wei Kai, it is also a last resort for your lord to do this. If you have hatred in your heart, just hate me and win Qian", Ying Qian looked at Wei Kai who had a look of loss on his face in front of him, and immediately quickly explained.

At first, when Ying Qian learned of this will, he also had a lot of confusion in his heart, and of course he was also unhappy for Wei Kaiming. After all, Wei Kai is also ruthless for the sake of the Qin State, and now without any reason, he will remove his military power and ignore him, isn't that a naked distrust of him?

"General, is the situation at the front very critical now?" Originally, Ying Qian saw that Wei Kai was silent, and was ready to continue to persuade.

After all, Wei Kai is one of the few scholars who can get along with Ying Qian in his heart, and Ying Qian also admires Wei Kai's talent, and he doesn't want Wei Kai to think nonsense about this matter and have a gap with Qin Guo.

But before he knew his words, he heard Wei Kai's sudden words, and suddenly said with a very tangled face: "Alas, it's hard to say a word, Ying Qian still can't hide it from Mr. Wei Kai."

Subsequently, Ying Qian informed Wei Kai of the lack of food and materials on the Chongquan front.

When Wei Kai heard this, he was also shocked in his heart, but then he sighed suddenly, the lack of food in the Qin State was not a secret military situation for a long time, but Wei Kai had captured a lot in Chencang and inadvertently ignored this matter.

Originally, the intention to remove Wei Kai this time was a deal made by Yingquliang and the nobles in the country, roughly if the king of Qin agreed to remove Wei Kai, then they, the Qin family, would be willing to squeeze out some grain from their few rations and use it as food for front-line soldiers.

In addition, most of the officers in the Qin army on the front line were also members of the clan. And since the last time the old clan attacked Wei Kai above the court, Wei Kai and the Qin clan did not agree, which is a matter known to passers-by.

If Wei Kai arrives at the Chongquan front, I am afraid that it will cause discord among the sergeants and soldiers of the army, which is not conducive to the unity of the Qin army and resist the attack of the Wei army.

After all, the old clan worked hard to overthrow Wei Kai, how could he let Wei Kai make military merits in Chongquan again, that is to say, Yingqu Liang was also worried that the Qin army would make the mistakes made by the Wei generals Gongsun and Gongzi Wei in the Battle of Shaoliang, so he agreed to the request of the Shi clan.

After thinking about it, Wei Kai also understood Yingquliang's distress. The Qin State is no better than the wealthy Wei State, but it cannot withstand a single defeat, and the problem of the lack of food in the Qin State is indeed extremely fatal.

In fact, the Qin State was originally short of food every year, but now it is particularly serious. After all, the Qin State fought wars every year, and the people did not have the heart to cultivate the land, and the oppression of the clan caused most of the people of the Qin State to flee, so the grain produced in the country could not make ends meet.

You must know that at the beginning, when Qin Xiangong took advantage of the main force of Wei and decided to crusade against the Wei army in Hexi, he also calculated the food in the national capital in advance, and then fought for the whole country.

And now the whole country of Qin, having just experienced the Battle of Shaoliang, not only did not take back the land of Hexi occupied by Wei and seized some booty from Wei, but suffered many casualties.

Moreover, the people in the country, because most of them were conscripted into the army, only some old and weak families remained, so they delayed the cultivation of the last year, which made the people who had no food at home even more impoverished.

And now the Wei State has raised troops to attack the Qin State, and Yingquliang has no choice but to transfer the people in the country, but to fight a war, not only must there be soldiers, but also food.

Although the Qin people are not afraid of death, but if they don't fill their stomachs, they have the strength to fight to the death with those well-armed Wei troops? That strength can protect the family and defend the country? But the people of Qin have no food to collect.

"What do you mean?" , Wei Kai looked at Ying Qian in front of him, and then said.

When Ying Qian heard Wei Kai's words, he sighed in his heart, Mr. Wei Kai really deserved to be Qu Liang's confidant, and before he finished speaking, he had already understood the general situation of the matter, and immediately said with a smile: "No wonder the king said that Mr. Wei Kai can understand."

When Wei Kai heard this, a slight smile suddenly appeared on his worried face, the prince and the minister had a heart-to-heart, nothing more than this, and before he remembered the farewell feelings of Yingquliang when Liyang was separated, he heard Ying Qian say: "The monarch and I both hope that Mr. Wei Kai will lead the headquarters and garrison in Pinyang County in case of accidents."

When Wei Kai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, Pinyang, that is really a good place, in the northeast of Liyang, and close to Chongquan.
